Hmm, strange, I thought last time we discovered that adding quotes
to the argument in the shell would not work for some strange reason
(I believe Wine itself got confused about the quotes in the argument).
Or maybe this is fixed now ? Anyway...

Yep,  e.g. simply doing a CreateProcess() would enable you to run a program
without quotes. Thus any program which assumes to get launched *with*
quotes *only* should be considered broken.
What astonishes me a bit is that you tell us that NT 4 doesn't
quote shell launching (Win 9x definitely does).
Next time someone is bold enough to tell me that UNIX/Linux is "fragmented"...
